A family-owned candle production company has announced the return of its 'popular' candle-making workshops.

The Victorian Candle Co., founded by Carlisle-based brothers Aidan Blackett and Ru Blackett has announced that it will be hosting a new wave of workshops in August.

The workshops will see participants choose their favourite from the pair's selection of fragrances and pour three candles which can then be taken home. 

Announcing the return of their candle-making masterclasses on social media, they said: "After many messages and questions from our customers, we’re happy to announce that we’ll be hosting our popular candle-making workshops again this August.

"Whether you're looking to explore a new hobby, create some lovely gifts, or simply unwind with a creative activity, our workshops are the perfect way to do it."

The Carlisle-based candle-making company celebrated its fifth anniversary in March 2024 and in the half a decade since its establishment, Aidan and Ru have produced and sold more than 150,000 scented candles.

The candles have also proven to be a hit nationally, with customers flocking to over 150 stockists across the UK, including in London and the Scottish highlands.

Speaking previously when the brothers marked the milestone, Ru said: "We’re so thrilled to be celebrating our fifth year in business and never imagined we’d be pouring hundreds of candles from our very own workshop in the heart of Carlisle.

"We’ve built a dedicated customer base locally by offering free delivery around Carlisle, as well as nationally by attending markets and events across the country."
